What do you mean by "safest" it is the only way aside from opening a socket connection to a particular mail server and issuing server commands, if you know them.

ok thanx. Just thought that thre might be security issues with the mail() command

Well there is always a security issue with email unless you are using some sort of encryption like PGP email is subject to interception whether ti comes for a php mail command or from Outlook. Plain old email is very insecure.
